Recorded live, this album includes the notorious “Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television,” a routine that sparked conversations about censorship and free speech. Carlin’s blend of observational humor and pointed satire offers a window into the early 1970s cultural landscape, making it a compelling listen for anyone interested in comedy’s evolving role in society. The album’s focused listening style and intimate delivery place you almost in the front row, where Carlin’s words land with precision. This vintage pressing from the same year captures that raw energy on vinyl, presented in a format that suits collectors and longtime fans alike. The record grades as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/blogs\/news\/how-we-grade-vinyl-records-at-the-den\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eVG\u003c\/a\u003e, indicating it plays well but shows noticeable wear and may have some background noise, so it’s best suited for those who appreciate the history behind the grooves more than flawless audio fidelity. Owning a 1972 vinyl of Class Clown is a bit like catching a stand-up set that’s both a time capsule and a still-relevant critique — a chance to hear Carlin before the seven words took on their own kind of infamy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003csection data-track-listing=\"true\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTrack listing \u0026amp; samples\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeorge Carlin - Class Clown\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBi-labial Fricative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracting Attention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSqueamish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWasted Time -- Sharing A Swallow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Used To Be Irish Catholic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Confessional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecial Dispensation -- Heaven, Hell, Purgatory And Limbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy Mysteries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMuhammad Ali -- America The Beautiful\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven Words You Can Never Say On Television\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embeds\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/o77zMb70V6A\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:152px;border:0;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Den Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"VG \/ VG+ \/ 1972","offer_id":67731476545852,"sku":"DEN00001294","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/9932\/2684\/files\/Mi01NjcyLmpwZWc.jpg?v=1792196352","url":"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/products\/george-carlin-class-clown-lp-101726-den00001294","provider":"The Den New Hope PA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
